The M Shift - back on NSB Radio... (Archives Inside!)

As promised, here is the latest archive from The M Shift, to set you up for your respected week ahead!

Having played copious amounts of breaks and drum 'n' bass lately, we decided to take things back a notch, with a helping of house. Andy Wright was a relatively late inclusion into this particular show, sharing a Digweed-inspired mix, given the sold out shows played by John Digweed in Sydney, on the corresponding weekend.

The artist formerly known as "JPL" - Leigh Westren in most circles - also re-joined the Randy Room antics, and brought forward what can politely be described as an "uplifting progressive house" effort. If that happens to be your bag, you'll certainly enjoy the last forty minutes.

All in all, was a nice step back from the usual. Get ready for some drum 'n' bass this coming Sunday!

As always, enjoy this archive, and enjoy your stay!

It's that time of the fortnight, that another M Shift becomes available.

This time, a couple of gentlemen known to the breakbeat world as "Broken Stylus", took the hosting reins! To boot, this show also fit in nicely with Ryza's birthday. Happy days all around!

Given the flourish of drum 'n' bass lately, this show - containing two hours of solid breakbeat - might have come as a welcome change for some.

In any case, the boys are of the opinion that it is one of their best Broken Stylus efforts to date - and we sincerely hope you share that opinion!

Furthermore, we've been busy scheduling shows for the second quarter of 2012. We're very pleased to welcome Karl Sav and Mr. "Yellow Feva" himself, Audio Tsunami, to the airwaves very soon! See more below!

As always, we hope you enjoy this archive - and that you enjoy your stay!

Happy hump day! Wednesday blues may be the order of the day, but with any luck this archive should lift your mid-week spirits considerably!

We were delivered a deliciously funky mix from Afrowhitie - featuring a wide selection of tunes, remixes, edits and bootlegs that we hadn't heard before. Ryza and I were more than happy to kick back, relax, and enjoy the offering.

Ryza and I followed suit with an hour of breakbeat between us. I must admit, personally, it was good to play some quality Beta tunage of years by gone.

We think you'll like this one! Plenty more coming up over the next few months, too. Check the schedule below!

As always, we hope you enjoy this archive - and that you enjoy your stay!

We sincerely hope you enjoyed your long Easter weekend - if you were lucky enough!

We hosted what has become a bit of an annual occasion, in our 'Easter Sunday Pre-Record Sessions'. The show contains a selection of mixes from the likes of Sideshow Rod, Andy Wright, Def Tonez and yours truly, with a range of styles included, to boot.

The entire show was very well received by the ever-loyal chat room regulars, and we hope you enjoy it, all the same!

During this show, I also announced that the 250th episode - scheduled for later this year - will be my last. In turn, that is likely wind up the show in its current capacity.

Clearly, this hasn't been an easy decision, but I feel we've had a brilliant run over the last six and a half years, made some great friends, have plenty of amazing memories, and I believe we've achieved everything we set out to, with this project.

As a result, we intend to go out with an absolute bang, and will be hosting the 250th show from a venue in Sydney's CBD, probably some time in August. I intend to release all details as they become available, but I assure you it will be large!

Not to worry, though, still eight shows between now and then, and plenty of quality to come before then!

As always, we hope you enjoy this archive - and that you enjoy your stay!

Alright, so, without further delay, here is the most recent episode from us, kindly hosted on this occasion, by Def Tonez. (His first solo effort, as it were.)

Working with a his headphones as the makeshift microphone for the afternoon, Mr. Tonez flew The M Shift flag strongly, with a fine selection of banging, dancefloor-oriented breakbeat. (Pay attention for a handful of included edits of his own, in the mix!)

We are back again in The Randy Room this coming Sunday, welcoming Karl Sav for the first time!

Should be a solid afternoon, if Karl's recent studio produce is anything to go by!

As always, we hope you enjoy this archive - and that you enjoy your stay!

So, a nice prompt archive submission this fortnight! The show from yesterday is hot off the press and available to download!

We welcomed - for the first time - Karl Sav to The M Shift airwaves, in what has turned out to be a couple of hours of very tidy music!

Karl has been extremely busy in the studio in recent times, and was kind enough to showcase some of his recent completions in his hour-long mix. Ryza and I provided the rest with a mixture of tech(ish) breaks - with a few classics in there for good measure.

I also disclosed some of the (now confirmed) details for The M Shift 250, scheduled for Saturday, 11 August. As you might imagine, we are beside ourselves with excitement.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this listen. Enjoy your stay!

So, now that all details of The M Shift 250 are completely out of the bag, the count down (or up, if you like) continues!

We returned with a fresh drum 'n' bass session, of the SPOiLT variety. I was joined in The Randy Room by Andy Wright for the couple of hours.

As with other SPOiLT DNB efforts, we like to keep it the tunes relatively deep and dubby, with plenty of bassline influences. We truly believe that this show delivered the goods. I dare say that even non-drum 'n' bass enthusiasts will find this one quite enjoyable.

With only five episodes left now before the big one, and plenty of big guests locked into the schedule...

Though, we're hoping that the latest downloadable instalment of The M Shift, should provide an deliciously effective cure, for those Monday blues!

We were lucky enough to be graced with an hour-long, driving mix from Audio Tsunami. The mix contains a fine selection of banging electro house and breaks, and is a definite taste of the kinds of dancefloor-friendly tunes that you will hear weekly at 'Club Fix' (in Busan, South Korea, where Dan is based).

Another fortnight rolls by, and another instalment of The M Shift becomes available! We are very quickly powering through the schedule, in preparation for the big one.

The schedule will tell you that Mesmer was the scheduled guest for this show however; we will have to find a spot for him on one of the next few episodes.

It's not all bad news, though! Being in charge for the entire two hour show allowed me to play a somewhat "retrospective mix", containing tunes that we paid considerable attention to, during our almost seven year stint. I purposely played wall-to-wall classics - right from prog. and tech. breaks into some proper rinse at the end - and really enjoyed the experience, even diving into a drop of the 'American Honey' mid way through the show!

I sincerely hope you enjoy this one, half as much as I did.

Keep it locked, ready for the Ben Shields / Dave Rogers show, in two weeks time!

Well, as many would know, we have officially wrapped up the show, and we did so in style last Saturday.

We're catching up on the last of the archives now, and we can happily advise that episode 249, featuring the very last appearance of Douggie D-Funk on The M Shift airwaves, is now available to download.

As has been the case with many of our recent guests and shows, Doug decided to play a somewhat classics breaks mix, containing tunes that have "done the damage" for him over the years.

A very good listen ensues... with a closing drop of drum 'n' bass!

We hope you enjoy this one.

The massive six hour archive from the 250th episode shouldn't be too far behind!

After almost seven years and 250 episodes, we have finally called it a day!

Here is the entire six hour broadcast, now available for download, and one that is sure to be enjoyed for quite a considerable time!

A big thanks to all of our resident and guest DJ's, attendees, supporters, downloaders, subscribers and of course, V Bar, who gave up their space for the afternoon, to let us do our thing. (And we did!)

For the very last time, we sincerely hope you enjoy the download - and enjoy your stay!
